Iraq's most-wanted militant, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has
been disowned by members of his family in Jordan who
have pledged to "sever links with him until doomsday"
and proclaimed their loyalty to Jordan's king, Abdullah II.
The statement, which also removed "protection" from
Zarqawi, came amid further protests in Jordan at the
suicide bombings at three hotels on November 9 in
Amman , the capital, that killed 59 people, including
revellers at a wedding party.
Zarqawi's organisation al-Qaida in Iraq claimed
responsibility for the blasts and subsequently threatened
to kill the king. But yesterday, 57 members of his
al-Khalayleh clan, including his brother and first cousin,
took half-page advertisements in Jordan's leading
newspapers to revile the militant leader.
"We denounce in the clearest terms all the
terrorist actions claimed by the so-called
Ahmed Fadheel Nazzal al-Khalayleh, who
calls himself Abu Musab al-Zarqawi",
wrote the family members who proclaimed
"homage" to the Hashemite throne and
"to our precious Jordan".
Has the muslim world finally
open their eyes and
realized terroism exists?
praise god!!!
is this terrorism any different from the times of the
Spanish Inquisition?
